Chapter 14

I hate the Dattebyo suffixes from Naruto and Kushina, so I won't use them.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Third Person's POV;

“So are you really going to open this cage?”, asked Kurama from behind her bars.

“Yep, how else will I be able to meet Kushina?”, replied Dexter and summoned the Key.

“I really can't understand you. Sure, I know your memories, but how can you be so sure that I won't betray and kill you the moment you open the seal?”, she asked with a frown on her face.

“I can easily answer that. I like you and trust comes automatically with it”, answered Dexter and a grin spread over his face as he activated the seal. He was so occupied with the seal that he didn't notice her blush and only looked back up when she managed to force it down.

The gate began to glow and then slowly opened. Kurama walked out and began to stretch.

“Feels good to be free again, even if it's not completely. It's different as if a tight tie was loosened. It's still there, but not as noticeable.

Anyway, you do know that I'm now able to physically affect you, do you?”, she said after her stretching and smiled sweetly.

“I didn't know but I expected it, after your explanation regarding my eyes. What do you want to do?”, asked Dexter.

“What do you think about reaching adulthood now and not in ten years?”, she asked.

“Am I right to assume that it will hurt like hell? And that you can add different things?”, asked Dexter to make sure.

“Yup”, confirmed Kurama and Dexter began to think.

“I'm fine with it, but let's do this when we are alone”, agreed Dexter.

“Fine by me, this would also force the Rinnegan into activation”, she added.

“You know, there is one problem that bothers me since I activated the Mangekyou-Sharingan”, he then said.

“And that is?”, she asked now interested. Something that Dexter didn't tell her and on top of that troubles him is rare. His thoughts are most of the time an open book to her, at least she thinks that is so, as she doesn't notice when she can't read them.

“Well, I will gain the Rinne-Sharingan at some point. The problem is how I will do that? I needed to fulfil all the requirements a normal Sharingan user has when it comes to their eyes. So I can safely assume that Minato once had Uchiha ancestors and that I gained the Senju part through Kushina, but what about the rest I need for the evolution of the Rinnegan?”, he explained and Kurama knew what he was up to.

“You mean that you need the Chakra of the Juubi? Do you want to tell me that you intend to revive it?”, she asked with slightly narrowed eyes. He might have become a very good friend and possibly even more, she doesn't really know what she feels, but she can't let that thing become alive again.

“Not really, while I'd love to speak with Kagura and have some theories regarding her behaviour. I do know that the Juubi is too much of a bother to me. But you are right with it's Chakra.

My question is, do I need the Juubi's Chakra to awaken the Rinne-Sharingan or is it enough to have a Bijuu in you when you have the Rinnegan?”, he replied earnestly and Kurama couldn't see any deceit in his voice, emotions or thoughts.

She sighed in relieve and then thought about what he said.

It is true that Madara had the Rinnegan when he awakened the Rinne-Sharingan, while Obito did not. His Rinnegan wasn't his, so it could be possible that the Juubi itself doesn't give the Rinne-Sharingan. But then what does? Just having the Rinnegan won't do it as well. Madara would have had it if that was the case.

It all comes down to the fact that he was a Jinchuriki, but he was the Jinchuriki of the Juubi.

“I honestly can't tell. It might be true that you only need to have me in you, but it could also be that you have to have the Chakra of the Juubi. But why do you bring this up now?”, she finally admitted not knowing what to do.

“It won't matter, if it evolves with your Chakra alone, but if that's not the case then I need to absorb some of the other Bijuu's Chakra. Or make you downright the new Juubi”, he said and Kurama was a little flattered that he would make her into a being that is basically a god.

“Well, we can only make assumptions as of now. So, where is your mother?”, said Kurama and switched back to their original reason to be here, other than the enormous bonus in strength and her half freedom.

They both looked around and a few minutes later a 1.65 cm tall woman with ankle long red hair and a tomato round face materialized in front of them. She wore wide clothing for pregnant woman and looked pretty hot.

“What? A seal? So Minato sealed me within Naruto-chan?”, she asked perplexed and looked around. She spotted Dexter and rushed at him with a speed that shouldn't be possible. At least not without opening the eight gates.

She then hugged the life out of Dexter.

“My Naru-chan!”, she shouted and squeezed even harder.

“Hi mom”, replied Dexter and hugged her back. It didn't look like she intended to release the hug, so Kurama coughed a little. Then a little louder and then finally ripped her off of Dexter.

“HEY!”, shouted Kushina in protest and then noticed Kurama for the first time. Her and her nine swishing tails.

An instant later and Kurama was bounded in her Chakra chains. Each tail, her head, and each limb was bound to the ground.

“Mom, stop. She's a friend”, said Dexter in protest and used a Rasengan to cut the Chain that strangles Kurama.

“But it's the Kyuubi”, shouted Kushina back and looked directly at Dexter's unwavering eyes.

“She is the sole reason why I'm still alive and wasn't killed by the village. She is my only friend in this world that I have left and She is someone important to me”, said Dexter in an none arguably voice and Kushina released the chains reluctantly.

“Good, now sit down. We have to speak and I think I'm right with the assumption that you don't have much time left”, he then said and sat down. A chair materialized behind him and the two women.

“What happened? You look like you are 7 or 8. What did you mean by reason for you being still alive”, asked Kushina rapidly and choose to pick Dexter up and place him on her lap. And also sit on the other side of Kurama.

“First of, the village thinks I'm the Kyuubi reincarnated and tortured me since I was 4 weeks old, maybe earlier”, answered Dexter and Kushina's whole body froze.

“B..but Sarutobi”, muttered Kushina silently.

“He orchestrated it. True he didn't want it to be this gravely, but he still allowed and even choose to do it. I also learned about the real reason of Uzushiogakure's doom”, continued Dexter and Kushina began to tremble slightly.

“Do you want to hear?”, he asked and she nodded slowly.

“It will change the way you see Konoha”, added Dexter but Kushina still nodded.

“very well. Uzushiogakure was destroyed because they didn't want to give Konoha a seal of mass destruction. Konoha choose to wait until you were sent and then gave Jiraiya the mission to ask one last time. Naturally Uzu rejected to hand the seal over, so Jiraiya manipulated the secret passages and ROOT troops, as well as Kiri, Kumo and Iwa attacked Uzushiogakure from the inside.

Sarutobi reasoned that you will be able to repopulate the Clan and that they didn't need an uncontrollable outside force. He even considered to put you under the CRA but choose to play matchmaker with you and Minato”, Dexter explained and Kushina's trembling was added by silent sobs.

“But I fell in love when Minato-kun saved me from Kumo. That couldn't be a plan”, said Kushina in denial.

“Sarutobi allowed Kumo to kidnap you and even led Minato on your initial trail. It's true that he couldn't be sure of your rescue by him, but he had you trailed by ANBU. I don't know if Minato knows, but I think he does not,” said Dexter.

“Then my whole live in Konoha was a lie?”, she asked with a shaky voice. She was fearful of his answer.

“No, while it is true that they planned to make you into an outcast, I don't think that your friends were involved into the ploy. Their parents maybe, but not them.

But it's true that Konoha is the reason for the death of your whole family and your younger live in the slums of Konoha”, answered Dexter and Kushina couldn't hold her tears in anymore. She broke down and began to cry, while hugging Dexter close to her.

Dexter patted her head silently and Kurama watched the whole thing with sad eyes.

It took Kushina a few minutes to settle down.

“Why are you telling me all this? I'm dead”, she then asked.

“I'm able to revive you. And I want to ask if you would agree to live again. I plan to kill Danzo, Sarutobi, the Council, around 5 thousand villagers and 400 Ninja from Konoha. They were the ones who tortured me and are the reason for both yours and my bad childhood. But at the same time I have to tell you another secret. One about myself and one that might change the way you see me”, answered Dexter and Kushina moved into a straighter position.

“It can't be worse than to learn that your whole life was created by a lie and that the people who you trusted with your live are the reason for the death of your parents”, she said sarcastically.

“Maybe not maybe yes. Depends on the viewing point. The thing is, I'm not the meant person to inhabit this body. I once met a being that could only be described as a true god. This being created everything, this world and countless different ones. I come from a world in which your whole live was only a fiction. A book, written by some guy.

This god I met was bored and gave me the task to entertain him by living a new live. He gave me unimaginable power and I lived for thousands of years. But I got bored of this power and killed myself. However, one of these powers was to gain an ability that changed my existence into that of a gamer. A person who plays games. This ability gave me the choice to get reincarnated into different worlds, including this one. It also gave me choices to boost my strength, like having the Sharingan or gaining a book about every seal in existence.

So, like you probably already realized, I choose to get reincarnated as your child. Naruto, your real child would have been brainwashed by Konoha and would do everything for it. They stunned his growth and thought of him as a demon. Like they did with me.

What I'm trying to say is that I'm not the child that was originally meant to be”, said Dexter and waited for a reply. Waiting for her to push him off of her lap or to start crying again. Maybe even just denying the whole thing. Only a small part of him thought of her accepting him. But this small part won over every other larger possibilities. Because Kushina hugged him again and told him her opinion.

“Silly you, I would have loved you even with your already developed mind. Or did you plan to harm me or Minato?”, she asked and Dexter choke his head in denial.

The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

“See? A mother doesn't loves her child because it's a blank state. She loves it because it is the natural thing to do. You might have an ancient mind, but your body was still born and carried by me.

And this situation isn't so different from what normally would have happened. The original Naruto would have met me not before he himself would have been a grown man and as such not known to me.

The only difference I see is that I'll be able to see your life and watch this scum of Konoha die. No one hurts the family of an Uzumaki and lives to tell the tale”, she said with fire in her eyes.

“Well, I didn't see it from this perspective, but you are right. Naruto would have been already grown up when he met you.

So does that mean that you're accepting my offer of a second life?”, asked Dexter and tilted his head to see her eyes.

Kushina smiled brightly and kissed his forehead, before saying; “Yes, I would really like to do that”.

“Good, your soul will be freed once your Chakra vanishes from the seal and I will be able to revive you through the Edo Tensei. From there on I will give you a true body with the Rinnegan”, said Dexter happily.

The affection reminded him of his first mother and Maia. And it felt good to feel it again. He felt happy to just sit in her lap and get stroked by her hands.

“Edo Tensei?You have the Rinnegan?”, asked Kushina in shock and stopped the stroking. Dexter moved his head forward and backwards to motion her to continue and she did after a moment, while Kurama could only smile at his antics.

Dexter was seldom so willing to get touched. Only Tsunade and her were allowed to touch him directly, and maybe Yuugao.

“Yes, one of the things I choose to aid me. I even got the better version of the Rinnegan, but don't know how to awaken it as of now. And don't worry mom, I'm going to use a blood clone for the Jutsu”, he said and Kushina smiled fondly when he called her mom.

“That's a relieve. Well then, get me out of this seal”, she said and vanished shortly after.

“That went better than I expected”, said Kurama the moment Kushina was gone.

“Yeah”, I'm out then as well. We have to try the new Chakra cloak”, answered Dexter and left the mindscape.

“I'm back”, Dexter said as he opened his eyes and looked at Bee.

“So what happened? Were you so nice to nine that he surrendered just fine?”, asked Bee. He noticed the lack of struggle.

“Yeah, Kura-chan and I have a great relationship”, answered Dexter.

“Kura-chan? So the fox is a vixen? That's new to me and Gyuuki, yeah”, said Bee and Dexter already knew that Bee uses yeah at every sentence when he can't find a ryme.

“Bijuu are genderless and she chooses a female form. Anyway, let's try the Chakra cloak”, said Dexter. Eager to see and feel the purified Chakra of Kurama.

“Hold on there, don't want to burn you here”, rapped Bee and raised a hand.

“You're too young for a power that strong”, he further said but Dexter ignored him and was speaking with Kurama.

“So Kura-chan, how do I activate the Chakra cloak?”, asked Dexter his tenant.

“You didn't rob me of any Chakra, so I have to actively give you some of mine if you want to activate the cloak. But I don't see why not, so here you go”, answered Kurama and pushed her purified Chakra into his coils.

Dexter was instantly engulfed in a bright red light and the characteristic cloak of Naruto in his controlled Bijuu mode formed around him. The only difference was that his cloak wasn't as bright or as dark as Minato's or Naruto's. Mainly because Kurama has both her Yin and Yang halves.

It looked more like a bright orange with darker outlines, while the flames flickered in the bright yellow of Naruto's cloak.

“Whoa nine-o, what did I say not to do? You'll burn down like a bonfire, but why aren't you lying down and already a crier?”, exclaimed be in shock.

“It's an Uzumaki thing”, lied Dexter while he felt the new experiences. He could feel, hear, smell and see better. It was an intoxicating feeling. But there was also a downside, he felt the negativity of the world. He felt how Iwa hated Konoha, how Konoha hated Naruto even how Suna hated Gara.

But he also felt how people loved each other. The mother that loves her child, the man that loves his fiancée or the old granny that still loves her equally old husband.

“Do you feel this all the time?”, asked Dexter in shock.

“Not anymore, I learned to control my ability to feel emotions, like you will have to”, answered Kurama and Dexter felt also felt how she is feeling. That she was happy to have someone who can relate to her, that she has someone to be with her and that she likes him. It didn't feel like the love of lovers, more like an attraction, but it was enough for Dexter to grow a large grin.

“What?”, she asked as she felt him grinning.

“Nothing, I only thought about how I'm a little bit more able to understand you now”, he said and Kurama blushed slightly. Not that he could see it. She also realised that he must've felt her and quickly shut him down from her emotions.

“What a shame, I liked your feelings”, was Dexter's reply as he no longer felt her.

“It's not polite to pry into the head of a woman”, replied Kurama sheepishly.

“Ahem, finished talking? Because I'm feeling like I am parking”, rapped Bee badly and Dexter refocused on him.

“Sorry, had a conversation with Kura-chan. Her cloak grants me to feel emotions from people. It was just so overwhelming. Anyway, thanks for helping me. I'll learn the rest on my own and with Kura-chan's help.

Here is the seal we agreed up to. Don't tinker with it. It will explode if you do. Just activate it and follow the instructions on the scroll. Each Ninja will have to be registered by blood or the seal will give a warning to the employed guards. It can detect anything that has Chakra as low as a weak Genin, so normal villagers aren't noticed by it. It will also inform the guards of the Chakra reserves of the intruder”, said Dexter in excuse and gave Bee a scroll.

“Thanks nine~o, bro will like this yo”, rapped Bee badly.

“Well then, I'm off”, said dexter and left via Hiraishin after a short bow.

He appeared in Uzushiogakure and was inside his own mansion, a large building near the Kagetower.

“Kura-chan, let's talk about the changes you are going to make. Anything you've thought about?”, said Dexter while removing his clothes. They will only rip when he goes through his soon to be coming growth spurt.

“Well, what do you think about being 2 metres tall, muscular but slender at the same time?”, she asked.

“Can you add fox tails and ears?”, asked Dexter in a hopeful tone and Kurama's stopped thinking.

“Why would you want to have the things that will bring you nearer the image of a demon? Of the same demon the villagers are despising so much?”, she asked.

“Duh, because your tails are awesome and I want them too. And who cares about these fuckers. I like your tails and ears. This way we're going to match”, he said.

“Well I could make them, but they won't stay as perfect as mine”, she said after a pause.

Dexter wanted to match with her looks? Wouldn't that mean that he likes her? But the last person who said something equally cute hurt her deeply. Dexter isn't like him. Or is he? Kurama wasn't able to feel his emotions for a couple of month now and she got worried. She always knew what he was feeling and this lack was making her uncertain and worried. The only reason she started to be as open to him as she was, was because she always knew what he was thinking and as such couldn't get betrayed by him. Not that he tried to in the first place. But what if?....

“Kura-chan?”, asked Dexter who noticed her lack of attention and Kurama refocused on their link.

“Yes?”, she asked.

“You tails are perfect, nothing is allowed to be as good as them, just make mine as good as you can”, said Dexter with worship in his tone as he spoke about her tails. Dexter was loving her tails, that she was sure of.

“Ähm okay. Anything else?”, she asked.

“Hmm, give me the Rinnegan now anything else is up to you. Oh and please give my hair red tips. They will look awesome”, said Dexter.

“Sure, well then lay down and I will start. I will force you into unconsciousness. It will hurt less and you won't feel the spent time. The next time you wake up, you will be in your slightly changed adult form. But you also feel like crap”, assured Kurama and Dexter laid down on his bed.

“See you”, he then said and Kurama began to work.

A's POV;

“So he left via Hiraishin?”, I asked my brother who I have already beaten into stopping with his rap. At least for now....

“Yes, Bro. He got the Chakra cloak done instantly and then gave me the scroll before leaving”, answered Bee.

“So he held true to his word. What do you think of him?”, I asked. Bee someone who could judge a person fairly well.

“He's a fine young man. Way above his age and fairly strong. The way he moves and suppresses his Chakra, as well as the ability to use the Hiraishin makes me believe him to be at least A-Rank.

I was only able to spot him in the first place because Eight~o informed me of Nine~o's Chakra.

I also think that he stays to his word. The Uzumaki weren't a bunch of liars”, stated Bee and I had to agree.

“Yeah, the Uzumaki never were known for lying. They were more likely to be known for their rage when someone was betraying them”, I said in agreement and was almost feeling sorry for Konoha. Almost, they had it coming. A Jinchuriki has to be raised with friendship and not pain.

“What do you think about his claim to revive Uzushiogakure?”, asked Bee.

“If it's true what he says, then we are better off with him as an ally. The Kyuubi is fearsome and with its Jinchuriki as a seal master it gets almost unstoppable. Other Jinchuriki won't stand a chance and we can't seal him, because he will know what we are up to”, I said and rubbed my temples. This whole mess would give me a massive headache, if I wouldn't have one already from all this paperwork.

“Yeah, and Kyuubi is on good terms with him. That makes it even more dangerous. It's better we try to stay on his side and not against him”, said Bee, also in thoughts.

“Good, he won't be back before he starts his village anyway”, I said and dismissed Bee. The moment he was gone I looked down at my paperwork and cringed as I noticed a new stack of papers.

The bane of all Kages, paperwork. The true enemy.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, next chapter. This one also includes a poll. I can't decide how I will give Dexter the Rinne-Sharingan. There are three ways and I think I'll let you decide.

Words;

If I haven't mentioned it yet, Kage means Shadow. Doesn't affect the story in anyway, but it's cool to know^^.
